Alignment Theory

Framework Foundational Layer

Metaphysical Claims

These are the largest claims made or implied by the framework. They are the claims that give Alignment Theory its deepest weight, and they are where the framework moves from psychology and systems analysis into questions of being, truth, evil, salvation, meaning, and Christ.

These claims are metaphysical and theological commitments rather than experimentally settled findings. Citations are used only where a scriptural anchor materially clarifies what the framework is drawing on.

Claim 1 — Reality is intelligible.

Reality is structured enough to be discovered, not merely projected onto.

Claim 2 — Truth is intrinsically integrative because reality is ordered through Logos.

Claim 3 — Evil is distortion of good order, not equal opposing substance.

Claim 4 — Agency is ontologically real as variable usable participation in action.

Claim 5 — Meaning is discovered, distorted, and recovered, not arbitrarily invented.

Claim 6 — Salvation is realignment with reality under God.[1]

Claim 7 — Jesus is metaphysically central as the living revelation of truth, coherence, and restored reality.[2]
